Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
For those of you who don't know (don't worry - I didn't at first either), a requiem is a song that is sung at someone's funeral. So, in this game, literally it means a song sung because sanity is dead. Figuratively, it symbolizes the end of someone's sanity. This really ties in to the game because it actually is about being insane etc - those who have played it will know. Anyway, it is extremely clever, and I wonder how long it took to think of it lol.
The Legend of Zelda: A LINK to the Past
I love this title lol. It may be a simple pun but w/e

The broken English and tremendous Wario-egotism to make this title a winner.

A fandango is a spanish/mexican dance, I think. Which means the title alludes to the grim dance of death, with mexican overtones... it fits the game so well and yet you have to wonder how they came up with a title that awesome.
And Sanity's Requiem as well.

Hell yes.
I almost cried when I heard it would be called Wario Ware here.

QuoteThis thread isn't about the best game, it's about the best game title.
I just thought of making a thread of the best/most clever/wittiest title that any video game has had.

F-Zero for Gameboy Advance.
Pretty straightforward huh? It just says "this is a product and thus we're not even going to pretend to make up a real name." It's the game equivalent of "The Beatles' Second Album".

Ah, but it can't beat the well thought out titles like Wave Race 64, Pilotwings 64 or Star Fox .... 64.
"Is this the 64th game in the series?"
"No
""Um"
Stay tuned for Super Mario Revolution, Wave Race Revolution and Star Fox Revolution!

Instead of naming the game "Booby Trap Kids", or "Trap Kids", or even "Kid who makes holes for dinosaurs to fall in", they went with the misleading title of "Booby Kids." If that's not the most misleading title ever I don't know what is, it's also one of the funniest because of the fact that it tricked me.
